Re: Macc. Programme
As is your right, Smudgie.
Seems like the majority would wish the programme to be cheaper (including me), but whether they'd sell sufficiently more is the big unknown.
Personally, I sometimes wonder whether the crowds would increase if it was £10 to stand, and that a bit more would also be made on 'extras' like programmes, raffle, shop sales, etc. This is the Ryan Air approach to marketing; make the product appear cheap but encourage folk to want, and then charge for, extras. If it could be done with a little less cynicism that at Ryan Air, I wonder if it might tempt more marginal fans into the ground.
Don't know if the programme personnel are involved in the "full story" on the Stanley's official web site but that is much improved; despite the result of the game, last night's report was especially good.
